[0031] In the embodiments of the present application, a feeding device is provided, please refer to Figures 1-6 , including a storage bin 10, a feeding plate 20, a lifting assembly 30 and a moving assembly (not shown in the figure), the moving assembly is arranged on the upper part of the storage bin 10, the feeding plate 20 is attached to the inner side of the side plate 110 of the storage bin 10, the upper end of the feeding plate 20 has an inclined surface 210, the lifting assembly 30 is used to drive the feeding plate 20 to move up and down reciprocally, when the inclined surface 210 approaches the moving assembly, the material 100 falls from the inclined surface 210 to the moving assembly; the bottom wall 120 of the storage bin 10 is inclined to the direction of the feeding plate 20.
[0032] According to the feeding device in the above embodiments, the lifting assembly 30 drives the feeding plate 20 to move up and down, when the feeding plate 20 falls to the bottom of the storage bin 10, part of the material 100 falls on the inclined surface 210 above the feeding plate 20. When the feeding plate 20 moves to the moving assembly, the material 100 loses the support of the side plate 110 and slides from the inclined surface 210 to the moving assembly, so as to achieve the purpose of automatic feeding. Moreover, the bottom wall 120 of the storage bin 10 is inclined to the direction of the feeding plate 20, so the material 100 will gather as much as possible near the feeding plate 20. The feeding device in the present application avoids the mutual abrasion of the material 100 caused by vibration feeding, and the implementation of the feeding device in the present application can achieve the purpose of reducing the damage of the material 100 under the premise of automatic feeding.
[0033] In some specific embodiments, a material blocking plate 50 is further provided, and a first guide mechanism 1110 is arranged on the side plate 110 of the material storage bin 10, and the material blocking plate 50 is movably arranged on the first guide mechanism 1110 so as to move up and down.
[0034] The material blocking plate 50 is used to divide a part of the material 100, so as to avoid excessive mutual friction of the material 100 and scratch or scratch some powder. When the material blocking plate 50 abuts against the bottom wall 120 of the material storage bin 10, a part of the material 100 is separated, and only the material 100 close to the feeding plate 20 can be fed. When it is needed to supplement the material 100, the material blocking plate 50 is moved along the first guide mechanism 1110, and a part of the material 100 enters the vicinity of the feeding plate 20 from the gap between the bottom wall 120 and the material blocking plate 50. In this way, the mutual friction of the material 100 can be reduced.
[0035] The first guide mechanism 1110 mainly plays a guiding role, and makes the material blocking plate 50 move in the vertical direction. The first guide mechanism 1110 can be a slide rail or a slide groove arranged on the side plate 110, or a vertical through hole 1120 as shown in the figure. The specific structure of the first guide mechanism 1110 is not limited, as long as it can realize the guiding role, which belongs to the protection scope of the present application. Figure 2
[0036] In some specific embodiments, a first pressing block 60 is further provided, and the first pressing block 60 is arranged on the side plate 110 and above the moving assembly.
[0037] The material 100 is usually not square or circular, but cylindrical or prismatic. When the material 100 is fed onto the moving assembly, it can be in a horizontal state or a vertical state. When the material 100 is in a vertical state, it is pushed to be in a horizontal state by the first pressing block 60 after passing through the first pressing block 60. Finally, it is ensured that all the feeding materials 100 are in a horizontal state.
[0038] In some specific embodiments, a through hole 1120 extending in the vertical direction is arranged on the side plate 110, and a fastener is connected with the first pressing block 60 at the through hole 1120 and clamps the fastener and the first pressing block 60 on the side plate 110.
[0039] In the embodiment, the fastener is usually a bolt, and a screw hole is arranged on the first pressing block 60, and the fastener is screwed with the first pressing block 60 after passing through the through hole 1120. By adjusting the position of the first pressing block 60 at the through hole 1120, various different height specifications of the material 100 can be adapted.
[0040] In some specific embodiments, the moving assembly comprises a transmission belt 410, a roller 420 and a motor 430, the transmission belt 410 is arranged on the roller 420, and the motor 430 is used to drive the roller 420 to rotate.
[0041] The motor 430 drives the rollers 420, and the rollers 420 drive the conveyor belt 410 to move, so that the material 100 is moved by the conveyor belt 410. It should be noted that the rollers 420 are generally provided in plurality, and preferably a tension roller is provided, so that the conveyor belt 410 is always kept in tension.
[0042] In some specific embodiments, the moving assembly further comprises side pressing plates 440 and an upper pressing plate 450, the side pressing plates 440 are arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 410, and the upper pressing plate 450 is arranged above the conveyor belt 410.
[0043] In the embodiment, a channel is enclosed by the side pressing plates 440, the upper pressing plate 450 and the conveyor belt 410, and the channel is just capable of allowing one material 100 to pass through horizontally, so that the materials 100 are prevented from being stacked together.
[0044] In some specific embodiments, one end of the side pressing plate 440 is provided with a guide surface 4410, so that the material 100 enters the space enclosed by the side pressing plates 440, the upper pressing plate 450 and the conveyor belt 410.
[0045] The guide surface 4410 is generally in a horn shape, and some materials 100 are in a horizontal state, but the axial direction thereof is not necessarily parallel to the movement direction of the conveyor belt 410. Therefore, the guide surface 4410 can adjust the posture of the material 100, so that the material 100 enters the channel enclosed by the side pressing plates 440, the upper pressing plate 450 and the conveyor belt 410.
[0046] In some specific embodiments, the moving assembly further comprises a buffer area 460, a sensing element (not shown in the figure) and a suction cup assembly 490, the sensing element is used for sensing the head-tail direction of the material 100, and the suction cup assembly 490 is used for sucking the material 100 and capable of rotating the material 100.
[0047] The material 100 has a top and a bottom. For example, an aluminum shell is generally in a hollow cylindrical shape, the upper end of the aluminum shell is open, and the lower end is closed. Although the material 100 is horizontally arranged on the conveyor belt 410, the head-tail direction of the material 100 cannot be unified. In the buffer area 460, the head-tail direction of the material 100 is sensed by the sensing element, then the material 100 is sucked by the suction cup assembly 490, and finally the head-tail direction of all the materials 100 is made consistent by rotating 180 degrees.
[0048] It should be noted that the suction cup assembly 490 generally has a mechanical hand, which can be a multi-axis mechanical hand, or can be composed of a left-right moving module, a front-rear moving module and a rotating module. The suction head part is connected to a negative pressure device, and a certain suction force is generated on the material 100 by generating negative pressure, so as to achieve the purpose of picking up the material 100.
[0049] In some embodiments, the moving assembly further comprises a second pressing block 404, which is suspended above the buffer area 460.
[0050] When the suction cup assembly 490 moves one of the materials 100 in the buffer area 460, it will cause the other materials 100 to be tilted. At this time, the second pressing block 404 can block the materials 100 back to keep the materials 100 in a horizontal state.
[0051] In some embodiments, the moving assembly further comprises a turnover channel 400, which has a diameter slightly larger than that of the materials 100, and an upper end of the turnover channel 400 is provided with a second guide mechanism 4001. The suction cup assembly 490 moves the second guide mechanism 4001 to place the materials 100, and the materials 100 are adjusted from a horizontal state to a vertical state by the second guide mechanism 4001 and then enter the turnover channel 400.
[0052] In this embodiment, the turnover channel 400 can change the materials 100 from a horizontal state to a vertical state, so as to meet the use requirements of the materials 100 in different scenes. When the suction cup assembly 490 places the materials 100 at the second guide mechanism 4001, the materials 100 are naturally tilted to enter the turnover channel 400, and in the turnover channel 400, the materials 100 are changed to a vertical state. The second guide mechanism 4001 is also generally in a trumpet shape, and after the materials 100 fall into the second guide mechanism 4001, they will be tilted to enter the turnover channel 400 at a suitable angle. The turnover channel 400 is generally vertically arranged.
[0053] In some embodiments, the moving assembly further comprises a guide rail 401 and a first pushing member 402. The guide rail 401 is arranged below the turnover channel 400, and the first pushing member 402 is used to push the materials 100 falling from the turnover channel 400 onto the guide rail 401.
[0054] The guide rail 401 can be arranged arbitrarily, so that the moving direction of the materials 100 meets the actual production requirements. When the materials 100 fall from the turnover channel 400 to the guide rail 401, the first pushing member 402 is started to push the materials 100 to move to leave a position for the next material 100 to fall.
[0055] In some embodiments, the moving assembly further comprises a second pushing member 403, which is provided with a baffle 4031. The second pushing member 403 is telescopic to move the baffle 4031 into and out of the guide rail 401, so as to prevent the materials 100 from being pushed down by the first pushing member 402.
[0056] Since the material 100 is in a vertical state on the guide rail 401, it is easy to be poured under the pushing of the first pushing member 402, especially the first falling material 100, which is easier to be poured without other materials 100 as support.
[0057] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict each other, they should be considered as within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0058] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent application scope. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are all within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application patent should be subject to the appended claims.
